This afternoon Year 4 became palaeontologists, exploring fossils and using pollen samples to investigate how the earth’s climate has changed over millions of years . For more information and activities to try at home, click here.
After school it was the turn of the Key Stage 2 families to become wind turbine engineers. For more information about wind turbines and some activities to try at home, click here.
This afternoon, Year 6 became environmental planners and used maps to discover how finding out about the past can help us to predict the future.

After school, families became wind turbine engineers, designing the blades for wind turbines and testing them to see which shape would turn the turbine the quickest. Click here for more information and activities.
This morning, Year 1 and their families became structural engineers. They designed and built bridges, then tested them to see which were the strongest.

This morning Year 5 became astronomers and found out about the development of the telescope throughout history and women in astronomy. They also discovered what stars are made from and how astronomers know this by analysing the light from the stars. To find out more about astronomy and to try some activities at home, click here.
